Our sustainability journey started over 20 years ago. From the very beginning BIOPAP wanted to develop all its high-performance food containers using renewable and non-intensive raw materials and taking into consideration its end-of-life.<\/p>\n

To underline this commitment in a scientific way, we have chosen and obtained the voluntary USDA CERTIFIED BIOBASED PRODUCT certification for all our food containers. The USDA CERTIFIED BIOBASED PRODUCT label indicates that a product is entirely or in significant part composed of renewable bio-based raw materials.<\/p>\n

This certification aims to promote the development, purchase and use of bio-based products, alternative to traditional ones derived from fossil sources, and to increase the use of renewable agricultural resources, thus helping to reduce negative impacts on the environment and health.<\/p>\n

Through this certification BIOPAP\u00ae entered the USDA BioPreferred\u00ae Program and also qualified for mandatory Federal Purchasing in the United States<\/p>\n

This label assures the consumer that the product contains a verified amount of renewable bio-based components indicated as BIOBASED content. In addition to being renewable, BIOPAP\u00ae freezer-to-oven resistant food containers have been developed from non-intensive sources that do not require artificial watering, pesticides or chemical fertilizers.<\/p>\n

The analyzes performed are third-party certified and rigorously monitored by the USDA.
\nProducts participating in the voluntary labeling initiative have their organic content measured by pMC (percentage modern carbon) using ASTM D6866-22 methodology as part of the certification process.<\/p>\n

A value of 100% BIOBASED carbon indicates that 100% of the carbon comes from biomass and a value of 0% indicates that all carbon is from petrochemicals, hard coal or other fossil sources. An intermediate value indicates a mixture: the higher the value, the greater the presence of natural organic components in the material.<\/p>\n

BIOPAP\u00ae compostable food containers BIOPAP\u00ae LP, BIOPAP\u00ae LC and BIOPAP\u00ae MAP have a Biobased carbon content ranging from 97 to 100%. This provides additional safety for the use and the disposal of BIOPAP\u00ae food packaging without negative impacts for our planet and our health.<\/p>\n
